    We can guess who’s been pre-ordering his presidential kneepads, can’t we?

    Any criticism I might levy at the sheer hideousness of that picture (“HERE’SSSSS OBAMA !!!) would be called racist. So I won’t comment on how incredibly weird that is.

    In the interest of fairness, Rolling Stone’s cover for next month has John McCain on the cover, in adult diapers and hooked up to an oxygen machine and a gigantic pulsing thing on his forehead, as he’s stairing down into a grave with a headstone marked “McCain” with Sarah Palin standing behind him, laughing maniacally while woman with hockey sticks attack woman who are trying to get an abortion. And a moose.

    Its only funny b/c its possible.

    That is supposed to be attractive? Can anyone say ‘caricature’? They couldn’t make him look more like a Jimmy Carter caricature if they tried. Perhaps the honeymoon is ending?

    Am I allowed to say he’s (Barry’s) got a big nose? Or is that racist too? Anyway, Rolling Stone’s a bunch of hacks anyway. People who never understood the genius of Rush (the band) aren’t fit to write about anything, especially music.

    (Yes, I’m a very bitter and clingy Rush fan) :)

    Gee Mikey, you sound like a guy that would pay the plumber after finding him and your woman “checking out a wet spot” in your bedroom, naked, because “we didn’t want our cloths to get wet”.

    The sort a fellow that would believe proper tire inflation is a credible alternative to exploiting our own fossil fuels.

    The kinda fruitcake that thinks voting for a radical socialist is the conservative thing to do.

    The odd sort that believes in genetic engineering, eugenics, and the inherent morality of science, yet looks at Sarah Palin and sees, inferior.

    Oh, and Mikey? If you took any offense at this, never mind about those valuable pieces I was going to give you cheap. ;)

    Is it a coincidence that they have a loving portrait of the Taliban on the inside cover. Matt Taibbi is such an ass;
    pity Putin didn’t kill him when he was over there. Politskovskaya, Stairovona,
    Safronov; he let’s this jerk go.

    Wait, the fucknozzles at Rolling Stone don’t like Rush? They probably think there’s a connection between them and the guy on the radio, so that may make sense.

    Jeff,
    You know, you really shouldn’t joke about pron. OR PORN!! Porn is too fundamental to our way of aversion, i.e., telling who is good and who is bad, who is beautiful and who (by NOT being in the porn) doesn’t fit society’s standards of the desirable. E.g., I am bad for liking it and ugly for not being included. You’re taking away my identity, man!! I don’t understand.

    Where are we? And what was in that drink you gave me?

    T&T

    Speaking of drinks, can I have another one?

    Speaking of one, can you make it two?

    Speaking of two, how far will the stock market fall?

    T&T (or G&T, depending on what you poured)

    lee:

    What in the heck are you talking about?
    Rolloing Stone’s owner is in the bag for Obama big-time, and that cover is not a worshipful cover.

    So again – what the heck are you talking about?

    Oh – and lee:

    The odd sort that believes in genetic engineering, eugenics, and the inherent morality of science, yet looks at Sarah Palin and sees, inferior.

    If you say that with a straight face your ignorance of my run-ins with Kate/whomever she is this month is as deep as the Mariana’s Trench.

    Damn, O!’s got teeth like a woodchuck in that photo. He can probably eat an ear of corn through a fence. Probably wins every Ducking for Apple event at Halloween.

    Jesus, you’d expect them choppers to come after you in a cheap Sci Fi horror movie.

    Mikey,

    I was just playing with you, and the idea that Rolling Stone may be having second thoughts about Obama.

    I could have said it different, like maybe you still believe in Santa Claus too, but I wanted to work in the silly notions of our resident trolls.

    You don’t really think Rolling stone used that picture to make Obama look bad because they are becoming disenchanted with him, do you?

  18. Comment by Mikey NTH on 10/16 @ 1:05 pm #

    Ah.
    Missed the sarcasm.
    I have no idea what anyone at Rolling Stone is thinking – or if they are thinking at all.

    Baxtrice,

    RS FINALLY did do a rather nice feature on Rush a couple of months back, but this rag jumped the shark years ago. I decided to let my subscription expire after subscribing for almost 20 years out of some twisted loyalty for the time RS was an occasionally above-decent rock and roll mag. Or maybe I just grew out of paying money for a socialist Tiger Beat to find its way into my mailbox every two weeks.

    Mikey, let me help you understand what the folks at Rolling Stone think:

    OBAMA IS THE ONE!!

    They are kinda like MSNBC in that respect.
